Joe Further Discusses Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather

We like people used to watch gladiator things where they would like, you know, put the fucking short-faced bear out and like let the gladiator fight it. You know, it's gonna happen. The bear is gonna eat the fucking gladiator. But not in this case. It didn't happen. But here's my, you know, it's I wrote an Instagram post about it today because I was I was genuinely all day. I was thinking before we got before I got here when I was at the gym was working out and I was thinking I was like, there's something about that. That's really intriguing to me. Like what is it? And I tried to figure out what it was. Like what about the novelty of the moment? Like were you me Tom Segura, Tony Hinchcliffe, Ron White and Curtis, Curtis Nelson were all sitting in my house. We couldn't wait. The thing is about that. We were all like, I can't believe this is happening. I can't believe this is happening. We're looking at them across the ring from each other. Jake Paul's like three feet tall. Then I'm like, this is bananas. This is so wild. And he survived and Floyd Mayweather made like a hundred million dollars. He made like a hundred million dollars fighting a guy who had never won a professional boxing match. Holy shit. The annoying thing. It's amazing. The announcers weren't acknowledging what was happening, which was like, what the fuck? The problem is they had too many people talking. They had a lot of people talking. There was Mauro. Yeah. How do you say the name? Dezos Samero. Dezos Samero. Who's the other guy? Mauro Rinalo. Mauro Rinalo already said and there was one other gentleman. The guy who got in the ring and interviewed Floyd and... I'll turn it off. Anyway, there was one, two, three, four guys talking, which is a lot of people talking. It's hard to do. But it would have been nice to have options is what you said. If there was an optional stream, we could listen to like Teddy Atlas. Yeah. Like a boxing expert. Because those guys were being funny and they were having a good time and everything like that, which is great. And I think that comes from Triller. You know, Triller, like you have Snoop Dogg fucking around. Oh yeah. No, no, I get it. I understand what the reason was behind it. But sitting next to... I don't watch boxing a lot. So it was cool to be sitting next to you and you're like, oh look, he's like trying to drain him. Or look, oh look, he fucked up because in the very beginning he expended too much energy. These are things I don't even know. So that's all. It just added a dimension to it that was interesting. Well, I was trying to break it down technically. I'm like, there's some interesting things that are happening here. Like first of all, Floyd is consistently putting pressure on him and moving and putting pressure on him and moving, putting pressure on him. And after the third and fourth round, everything comes out a little slower. So he has to be more measured. So what Floyd is doing, like, is consistently engaging with him and then pulling out. And consistently engaging. And making him swing and miss and swing and miss. It's brilliant. For people that got mad at it, I get it. It's not Manny Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather five years ago. But what it is, is one of the best boxers of all time making a hundred million dollars. Fighting a guy who's three feet taller than him and 35 pounds heavier than him who can't win. It's amazing. It's amazing. That fight was amazing. And there's a lot of amazing things. First of all, Floyd's amazing. The fact that Floyd has the balls at 44 years old to decide, oh, I'm just going to go ahead and fight some dudes 35 pounds heavier than me at 26 years old. It's crazy. It's crazy. And then the fact that he could put it on a guy like Logan Paul. And here's another one. The fact that Logan Paul went all eight rounds. That's astounding. You have no idea how tired you would be if you were boxing with the greatest boxer that's ever lived. I mean, maybe he's not the greatest because that's subjective. But in my opinion, he's the greatest. The reason why he's the greatest, in my opinion, is he's only been hit hard and hurt like three times his whole fucking career. There's no one that can say that. The art of boxing has always been hit and not get hit. And in my mind, no one's ever done that better than Floyd Mayweather. Now, here he is in his 40s. He's made hundreds of millions of dollars fighting people who have really no chance of beating him. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. It's amazing. Dude, the controversy of the day. People think he got knocked out. They got knocked out. People are so silly. You don't understand. They don't understand shit about getting hit in the head. These are the same dummies. He's just hanging on, man. He's just he went for an overhook. You guys have no idea. This position right here, high elbow, going in for an overhook. If he was wrestling, he would go back the other way and throw him on his back. This is a normal thing for a wrestler. Logan was a wrestler. In fact, ready for this? See how he's got that high overhook on the left hand side? Watch how this happens again. This is what happens when a bunch of people comment on fights that don't know shit. You see that high overhook? Watch one more time. So he hits him and now look at Logan's right arm. Watch what happens. Excuse me, left arm. See what happens? He's in control. He's holding onto him. He's a wrestler. My friend Guy Sacco, who runs Defense Soap, that's his company. He owns that company that I rave about all the time. He told me today that Logan Paul was one of his wrestlers in the 1990s. He said he was really fucking good. He says he was a really talented kid. There's a video of him wrestling with Paulo Costa, who is a UFC middleweight contender, like a beast of a guy. And Logan fucking scrambles on this guy. He looks really good. He can fucking wrestle. So when you see that, he's not knocked out, you knuckleheads. You stop talking about fighting. He's holding on and he's protecting himself and he's controlling Floyd and he's pushing his head to Floyd's chest. Catch new episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience for free only on Spotify.
